  1. Thanks
    VKurtB got a reaction from Mc10139 in 1901 indian head cent   
    I agree with @Just Bob. That pitting I see troubles me. I collect high end Indian cents and if anything, the IHC series is known for its immaculate fields.

    Seems like your package may have been a "ricochet biscuit". Bow, bow, bow.

    Normally I never wear gloves, they're not really recommended, BUT if you must wear cotton gloves, then you absolutely must have that padded surface below. The reduced dexterity with gloves makes the pad a true asset to have.

    Oh dear! Another lamb being led to the slaughter. When will they ever learn? Your PNG dealer should be brought up on charges. They are supposed to be preventing this kind of waste of time and money.

    I realize it’s only September but I’m pretty sure we have a serious contender for “Clueless Foole of the Year” here. Wear it proud, say it loud, Mason.

    I don’t THINK SO, but please understand that determining that from a still photo is a fool’s errand. This PL thing requires “motion” to hazard any sort of guess.

    Yep my smart phone is not so smart spell check auto punctuation must be disabled 🤣yep let it go like you did all that silver those little case you emptied during skyrocket silver prices you might want to see if you can find those old case around anywhere so that you can assemble those O so common sets Silver is about to go up!!i mean why have to build  there so common right???As I said I'd love to have another guide me to the most common place to purchase I'll buy it!! Im the loose change here though however i am not the one making statements about how common something is but have no evidence of it a common item is always available where the availability??common sence Thanks you guys! Yep I've seen that however that's the only one anyone can say they have seen! Nothing like mine and thanks for acknowledging that simple word simple letters strong impacts like mine but with a different date morgan Exactly not at all ! See the quick responses without knowledge beyond what you see is very important attention to detail can you show me a branch mint 1885 O Morgan? The importance of the 1885 O Morgan is what is unique!!Its just  History Guys! Research! I'd rather have seen the actual 1964 Kennedy Dollar which was the expected coin of choice However thanks guys like I said I'm new to this but not new to my collection Key! 
  11. Thanks

    I agree this guy is beyond help. Where do these people come from? The funniest part about it is that it would literally be no trouble at all to build one of these sets in the exact same holder with the 1885 O Morgan dollar. We literally had dozens of these exact same holders (some with 1885 O Morgans) laying around when silver last skyrocketed. I should see if we still have the empty holders. Maybe he would like to add some more to his “unique” collection.

    Yep, I agree completely.  We said our piece, tried to help to no avail.  Enough of our time has been spent on this one.

    The funniest part about it is literally it must be some trouble to build one of these sets with the same exact holder???hmmm haven't seen anyone including yourself whom made the statement No Trouble Same Exact Holder😂 instead all of you keep finding that same picture which is uniquely odd indeed!How is it all of you make these statements and provide the exact same picture as one another how's that happening for such a common item?If common the availability should be endless right??🤔 not all of you finding the one and not to mention the same Ebay photo as you all have?🤔 Will someone anyone please give me an explanation for that??

    Yes it would be difficult to do so. that is a very old holder, the exact style probably having been discontinued almost 50 years ago.  Hard to locate 50 year old holders, most of them were discarded decades ago.  The coins on the other hand are readily available.

    Where? Yes, I also see big retail markups on these, but you'll never get that value back out of them. There are too many 70's out there and no dealers will want to pay YOU any premium for a 70. MS/PF70 coins are the theft that keeps on stealing from you, unless you buy them raw and get them slabbed and get 70's.
     
    Put another way, the buy/sell spread on 70 graded ASE's is an obscenity wrapped in a con.

    Charlie has raised a serious question. What ever WAS the purpose of collecting MS or PF 70 coins, ESPECIALLY ASE's? I submit to him that there never has been and never will be any purpose to it. They're all just bullion when you go to sell them, and on that I can make a solemn promise.
